About this asset

This 2K PBR scratch decal provides a realistic, fine linear weathering effect for rendering worn metal or industrial surfaces. This surface decal features a dense network of fine, linear scratches suitable for adding realistic wear and tear to metallic or polished surfaces. The pattern is designed to simulate authentic abrasion, with a mix of subtle surface scuffs and deeper, more defined lines. The texture is provided as a 2K PBR map, ensuring high-fidelity detail when applied to close-up render shots. The neutral grey and black tones allow it to blend seamlessly into various base materials, enhancing the tactile quality of industrial design elements, machinery, or architectural hardware without overpowering the underlying surface finish.

The download is a 21.8 MB compressed archive with the texture set at 2K with colour, normal and opacity maps, ready for any metal/roughness PBR workflow in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Unreal Engine or D5.

Apply this texture as an opacity or bump map within your rendering software to modulate the surface roughness or reflectivity of your materials. It is best used as a secondary layer in a shader graph to break up uniform reflections. Because it is tileable, you can easily scale the map across large objects like facade panels or flooring without worrying about visible seams or repeating patterns that might break the immersion of your final architectural visualisation.

Use this decal in any project requiring high-realism weathering, from industrial machinery and workshop interiors to contemporary retail displays and urban architectural features. It is particularly effective for adding age to stainless steel, brushed aluminium, or painted metal components. Professionals often use these maps to create a sense of history in a scene, pairing the texture with clean base materials to achieve a balanced, lived-in aesthetic across residential, hospitality, or commercial projects. It is a vital tool for achieving photorealistic results.
